By (Arthur Brisbane OUR PROSPERITY'S SPREAD. THE PORTERS ARRIVE. REALLY TWO CHANGES. RED, AND BRIGHT RED. - \ (The good thing about American prosperity is tliat it spreads further ami further from the great control sources of wealth. In ancient days, a rich nobleman in his palace was surrounded by ignorant, miserable, half-starved, barefoot peasants. La ter the owner of a great factory in New England had the "satisfac tion" of knowing as he lay in bed bt>>ure daybreak that the men and women were already on the way to his mill to make money for him and earn for themselves barely enough to keep alive. That has changed, and will change more. Millions of men go to work in automobiles. And the automobile widens their sphere of labor. ' A carpenter or bricklayer can work comfortably anywhere within fifteen or twenty miles of hi.- dwelling. That change is as important, almost, as the invention of the locomotive. The Dives-Lazarus dinner party ig over. Dives still has more than he needs, more than he should have, but Lazarous has plenty, and travels in hi9 :ittle limousine while waiting to travel in Abraham's bosom. It would have interested you to aee a Southern Pacific train get ting ready to start from Oakland, one evening last week. Half a dozen well-kept, good automobiles drove up, one after another. A man, well dressed, contented, pros perous-looking, got out of each. ; QUALLA " i) Last week? Prot. A. D. Parker, accompanied by the Busket Ball team went to Cullowhee Thursday to attend, the tournament. Prcaehing at the Baptist Church Saturday and Sunday by the pastor, Kev. J. T. Carson. Messrs. A. D. Parker, Buren Terrcl, Misses Nora Kinder, Alpha. Dickinson Bertha Buchanan an^ Louise Haigler attended teacheres meeting at Sylva. Mrs. J. L. Ferguson, Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Ferguson, Mi*. P. H. Ferguson, Mrs. .J. L. Hyatt and Mi's. P. C. Shelton attended the funeral of Mrs. Stephen Shelton at Waynesville. Mr. anj Mrs. Frank Owen were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Howell. / Born to Mr. and Mi-s. Gilbert Moo dy ?a son. '' .Misses Ida Battle,. Irene Raby and Harriet Hall attended the tourn ament at Cullowhee. His wife, who changed to the wheel to drive the car home, was prosper ous-looking and proud to take her husband to his work. Those were colored porters of the Southern Pacific Pullman cars and their wives. What a change from the days of Uncle Tom's Cabiu, and the change is as great for white workers as it is tfor colored men. Seventy ftve years ago pious New Eng lundera, excited about "abolition" and the terrible lot of poor black slav*? in the Sonch, were told by tii* Jntc Albert Brisbane, "By all free- the black slaves in the Scutli. But what. about white slave* -in your cwn New England faci:?ri-e3 ? What about the white women who. go to work in your cotton mills before daylight and get heme after dark? It is worse than Dii.k slavery, because the black si we owner keeps him fed and hoaitky that he may continue to live avj work, whereas you don't care what nappens to your whit? si&vca, sin<v you can get, for noth ing, vnore 'wner. they die." Slavery can be and has been as bad on a "wage basis" as on a basis of physical slave ownership. Modern industry, highly produc tive, intensely organized, immense ly profitable, takes a step toward civilization when it allows those that do the work and produce the comforts to have some comfort for themselves. ? Those colored women, driving their husbands to work, in good automobiles, will cause the foolish to ask, "Deaf1 me, what is the world coming to ?" It is coming to better days, greater happiness for the crowd and greater security for the few that skim off the cream. Certain clergymen are accused of being "red." Their accusers want them investigated by a Con gressional Judiciary Committee. A clergymen is "red" when he doesn't believe that a whale swal lowed Jonah and coughed him up on the land. He is "red" if he believer that the advice to give all to the poor was really meant seriously. He is "red" if he doubts that Joshua mad3 the sun stand still in its trip around the earth, in spite of tho fact that it doesn't go around the earth. He is "red" if he says the four angels could not have stood on the four corners of the earth because it hasn't four comers. And he is BRIGHT red, if he thinks anything should be done to let everybody have enough, here, where so many have too much. -Mr. and Mrs. Jarvis Calthvcll ofj Black Mountain were visitors at Mr Golmau Kinslaud's.

' ./a i > O About Vouf Things Voir Should Know 'by John Joseph Gaines. M. D/ HYDROPHOBIA An ancient term, but one which conies before us every now and then, with an acuteness that pale? the face with terror. In its lit eral meaning', hydrophobia is "dread of water," as "photophobia" is dread of light. AH "phobias" in medical language are "dreads", "Kabies"?a shorter word, has its origin io "rage"?madness?from the French, hence, "mad-dog." Other animals than the dog are susceptible to rabies,'the horse, the cow, the cat?and the rodents, rats.. mice, etc.; it has been suggested that the bite of (the skunk may bo followed by hydrophobia. The poi son is one of the most active known, and, until the discovery of the Pasteur treatment, its pres ence spelled certain death. o Something may be said here, that will prove of value to my reader; if your pet suddenly shows signs qf illness, you should a? once put him into an absolutely safe isolation, and summon a skilled veterinary doctor. r If you. little dog begins to act strangely ?shows no sign of affection for you?hides himself?trembles, as if excited or suffering, you cannot bo too active in precaution; let me repeat, better be safe than sorry. In the very unfortunate event of your being bitten bv a dog, bear in mind that a bite through clothing is many times log? linble to be fol lowed by infection than ono on a bare surface. ,Another point: The dog that bites' fou should be im prisoned and watched to see if he is actually t'.'.v:?? ??(!: to kill him am: bum his body is to destroy valu able evidence. The so - called "mod - stone * known in rural communities, ha. no known scientiiie value, an:l should not be depended upon; case of reported "cures" by it were poi hydrophobic to begin with. One of the brightest stars in the crown of scientific medicine is its mastery of this dread infection. Next Week: Physical Culture COURT WILL HOLD 20 SESSIONS! Raleigh, ? N. C. March 13?
